TOILET COMPACT Application filed November 20, 1928. Serial No. 320,590

i This invention relates to improvements in toilet compacts and more particularly to that class of toilet compacts which are used to contain v a variety of articles such as powder,

rouge and lipsticks.

An object of this invention is the provision of an improved toilet compact which will house a plurality of toilet devices, which is economical to manufacture and which will be 1 attractive in appearance. v

Another object of this invention is the provision of an improved toilet compact, the base of which will simulate well known flowers in appearance and will, at the same time,

provide a convenient receptacle for toilet ar- I t-icles.

Further objects of this invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which Fig. 1 is a top plan view of one form of my improved compact.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view with parts broken away showing the interior of the device.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the base of the device made of one piece of metal.

Fig. 5 is a perspectiveview similar to Fig. 2, showing the lipstick attached to the cover instead of to the base of the device.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the partially opened compact showing the powder compact attached to the underside of the cover.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing the powder and lipstick attached to the underside of their respective covers.

It has been my object to produce a novel form of compact of which the top should sim- 0 ulate well known flowers such as pansies, wild roses, daisies, etc. The top leaves, A, B and C, are stamped or embossed in conformity with the actual shape of the petals of the flowers they represent and are joined to the A base D by hinges E, the top being kept normally in a closed position by means of the springs F. The closure is effected by means of the leaf spring G operating in conjunction K with the button, H. In Figs. 1, 2 and 3, I have illustrated a form of compact in which the lipstick, powder, rouge or other toilet articles contained therein are disposed on the bottom of the device, but in Figs. 5, 6 and 7 I have shown a preferred form of device in which the toiletarticles are fastened to the underside of the cover so that when the cover is opened, the respective articles are more accessible to the hand of the user. In Fig. 4 is illustrated a form of base in which the three receptacles for the respective articles including the supports for the hinges, etc. are all stamped from a single piece of metal.

I have, for illustrative purposes, shown herein an improved form of compact in which a pansy is illustrated, but it is apparent that 5 other flowers and the petals thereof can be used instead of the particular flower shown, without departing from the spirit of my invention. I

What I claim is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a toilet compact holder, comprising a body including a bottom and marginal side wall, said bottom being inwardly displaced at a central point to provide a truncated frusto-conical hollow support, partitions radiating from the support and merging into the side wall to provide independent compartments in the body, nonflexible cover sections for the compartments, I and hinges concealed in the support and cover 30 sections to swingingly connect the latter to the support.

2. As an article of manufacture, a toilet compact holder, comprising a body including a bottom and marginal side wall, said bottom being inwardly displaced at a central point to provide a truncated frusto-conical hollow support, partitions radiating from the support and merging into the side wall to provide independent compartments in the body, nonflexible cover sections for the compartments, and hinges concealed in the support and cover sections to swingingly connect the latter to the support, said side wall, and said cover sections being ornamented and flush at their meeting edges to effect a completed flower.

3. As an article of manufacture, a toilet compact holder, comprising a body including a bottom and marginal side wall, said bottom being inwardly displaced at a central point 1"" to provide a truncated frusto-conical hollow support, partitions radiating from the. support and merging into the side Wall to provide independent compartments in the body, non-flexible cover sections for the compartments, and hinges concealed in the support and cover sections to swingingiy oonneot the latter to the support, said side Wall andmover sections being ornamented and flush at their meeting edges to effect a completed flower,

said support having its smaller; end closed;

and ornamented to effect the center of the flower representation. I y

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.
